Well if AOL proxies do what they should and forward the original client ip in the http headers then you can use the proxy > real ip hack. I can't test that from where I am at the moment.

I have it installed.

However those members do not show any icon that reflect a proxy is detected for an ip to be resolved.

Someone needs to give AOL a slap :p

Satan

Thats what im saying.

Have any of you had a member you couldnt get rid of due to unlimited IP addys?

Yes and it is almost impossible to get rid of those. All you can do is try to frustrate whatever they are doing as much as you can. Have a look at the miserable users hack.

Yeah I am a hack wh*re and have that installed already :) . My friends are great, but my enemies can be very determined........

I was on a board that was using vb2.x.x and it would spider through and ban every ip address used by that member automaticlly.

Is anyone aware of a hack like that?

IT is a bit dangerous to automatic ban ip's.

Its just crazy that aol is really a proxy like software..... Whats the point of buying proxy software, all someone needs to do is the "bring your own connection" for 10 bucks a month....

So I guess the bottom line is that if someone wants to make my life a living hell on my board they can.
